Sean















This week we feel compelled to tell you about Sean. It’s hard to describe Sean in just a few words! His has the best personality and we all believe that he will do great things as an adult. He is a bright 11 year old, in 4th grade and his favorite subject is computer. He enjoys reading about science and technology and his favorite sport is soccer. Sean’s personality fills a room! He is great with the younger kids and was nicknamed the “Little Director” because he was keeping them all in line for their program. Sean was disappointed last year when he participated in another Journey of Hope program but did not find a family. He wants to live in America because everyone has a house! He has been in a foster family for 4 years but desperately wants a forever family - maybe with an older brother and sister. Sean was born with cleft lip and palate and has had surgery for both. He may need some reconstruction and some dental work; however, his speech is excellent and he liked practicing his English on us! Part of our interview with Sean can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-hJiasqe4&feature=channel.

Sean and Natalie (featured last week) are great friends and we hope that they will both find families that will let them stay in contact. Sean was often found “coaching” Natalie while we were interviewing her!
